im not sure about top/jungle, but mid and bot are the strongest they could get. this is their BEST chance ever. and since eu lcs got fucked i have to root for tsm aswell. if they dont make it out of groups this worlds, they never will
Isn't this said literally every year, only for them to become a massive disappointment?
If we're looking at it, then on paper the current roster is the safest one they've had in a while where they should be able to win games without taking too many risks (zven/mithy being the "anti-DL"). That being said, if bjerg doesn't step up massively this year and actually "do" something with these players then many people other than me will be calling him a froggen clone due to not being able to carry outside of niche circumstances.
NA will never win worlds. The skill gap between Korea (and maybe China) and the rest of the world is too large. NA doesn't have the embedded culture in society for it either, therefore, the drive isn't there. It's the same in CS too. Sure, there's Faze, but their roster is all european and the skill gap between NA and EU isn't as pronounced as the League KR vs. everyone else gap.
In a culture where you're a celebrity vs a culture where you're just a dude playing video games, the former will always triumph in terms of motivation. Nothing short of the absolute best players and divine intervention will allow for an NA worlds win.
TSM never had a better team to go with a favorable meta than this past Worlds. They will look good in NA and suck a bag of dicks internationally.
At some point....hopefully....... Realistically tho, I don't think TSM or NA will ever win Worlds. 7 years and yet, NA takes every regions' talent and they still can't sniff the semifinals is a clear indication that it will most likely never happen.
My eyes will be on Bjergsen to actually "try" to do something on the International stage, instead of shifting the blame on less talented players as well as from the fans. This is Bjergsen's time to actually show not only to the other International players that he belongs in their skill cap but also to the fans. Bjergsen has no more excuses for not actually winning or getting close to winning anything on the International stage.
Any fans who think teams that have 40+ min games win or lose are bad should be very interested in this next split with TSM as Zven and Mithy are a bit better overall than say Double and Bio but they're games historically have been around that 40+ mins, not to mention besides that great MSI performance they too have a history of underachieving on the International stage.
But that Korean team though... [slayer-jinx-wink]
Is there actually evidence of this, stats or something? Or, is this just another TSM fanboy delusional thread?
Dam so much salt from EU players why not renounce your citizenship and come over to NA can't beat em join em don't whine about it there's a reason everyone coming over here boys. Don't be salty at me slinging truth just give in and start your lives anew in the land of dreams boys, just because they got here on a work visa don't mean normal joes like you can't work hard to get your citizenship, less hate more love, thanks.
They have an insane roster and I’m sure they will dominate the domestic region
But international, they will get destroyed.
NOW ITS TIME FOR TSM TO WIN WORLD/s.
You fucking **** have not learned a thing. After you will cry that they failed at pretty much everything as always.
